Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Seahawks' signing of George Holani to a $1.1M deal earns a D+ CVI, representing a slight overpay for what amounts to depth insurance at running back. While the financial commitment is minimal in NFL terms, Holani's profile as a depth piece doesn't justify even this modest investment when considering the abundance of available talent at the position. At 26, he's entering what should be prime years for a running back, but his track record suggests he's more likely a practice squad candidate than a contributor who can push for meaningful snaps behind Kenneth Walker III. The short-term, low-risk structure does provide Seattle with easy flexibility to move on without significant dead money, which partially salvages what is otherwise a puzzling allocation of resources. This feels like a camp body signing that got dressed up with guaranteed money it didn't need, especially when undrafted free agents or late-round picks could provide similar upside at a fraction of the cost.

Performance Analysis

George Holani grades at a D- as a young running back who has yet to prove he can be a reliable contributor in Seattle's backfield. Across 16 games over two seasons, he has mustered just 83 rushing yards and one touchdown — numbers that put him firmly in the "still trying to make a roster" category. His 2025 season saw him appear in 11 games, but the limited rushing output suggests he was primarily used on special teams rather than as a ball carrier. The three receptions for 14 yards show minimal involvement in the passing game as well. Holani needs a significant leap in efficiency and opportunity to carve out a role in what has been a crowded Seahawks backfield.

Fan Sentiment

Holani is a sneaky-good value add who brings genuine juice to Seattle's backfield. Multiple headlines praise him as a legitimate solution, signaling real starter-level confidence from reporters. His NFC title game activation is the strongest signal — you don't elevate camp bodies for championship games. Fans are buzzing over his highlight-reel stiff-arm and filthy juke moves against New England. If healthy, Holani has legitimate RB2 upside with starter flashes in a run-heavy Seattle offense.
